The piece argues that single moms, working moms, and homosexual couples with children should not be recognized as families.

It also takes the stance that modern, more revealing clothing "directly translates into unwanted results of sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility and indirectly promotes violence against women."

In a separate 1996 article written by Abedin's mother, Clinton is accused of advancing a "very aggressive and radically feminist" agenda that was wrong because it focused on empowering women.

Abedin, who stopped working for the journal in 2008, is unapologetic about her mother's beliefs.

"My mother was traveling around the world to these international women's conferences talking about women's empowerment, and it was normal," she told Vogue magazine.

The Clinton campaign has yet to comment about Abedin's work at the journal. Abedin is Clinton's longest-serving and arguably most loyal aide. The devout, Saudi-raised Muslim first worked for Clinton when she was first lady, then followed her to the Senate and later the State Department.

Now she's Clinton's campaign vice chair and could end up back at the White House as some speculate the next chief of staff.
